    It wouldn't surprise me if the republicans posing as ACORN reps are going around handing out phony registrations for propaganda purposes. Politics is a nasty game. They are good at being nasty, especially when you they are running far behind in the polls.

    LONG target of GOP operatives? Gad, I didn't hear about ACORN and Obama being a part of this devastingly corrupt scam until about four DAYS ago! IF the GOP has been targetting ACORN, they sure hid it from us all for the longest of time.

    The corrupt department of justice has ignored voter caging in 2000 and 2004. When they were implored by Senators in 2004 to DO something, they instead turned to individual voter fraud, coming up with nothing. And of course the voter fraud was targeted at democrats. Caging is ELECTION FRAUD, and disenfranchises thousands. It's a felony and republicans have been under a court order for years not to do it..,.again. But they've done it with impunity, thanks to a justice department that works for the GOP and a corrupt media. Now once again they're deflecting to 'voter fraud' and ignoring the evidence of election fraud by republicans. Obama has filed a law suit against the GOP for it. Anyone hear about it in the MSM, more than just a little blerb? No, they haven't. But this they'll run into the ground. Our democracy is being destroyed by republicans. People had better get it through their heads, they either wake up and do something, or it's all over.
    I've volunteered to help man a voting precinct, and will be keeping close tabs on how many people are asked to fill out 'interim' ballots. That's a clear indication that the person has been caged, & there is every evidence that their ballot will be tossed.
    Surely people remember in 2004 that CNN got a court order to view a 'suspect' list compiled by Florida officials, naming thousands as 'suspect'? CNN found hundreds of people on that list posted as 'felons' who had never committed a felony! Because of the media coverage, Florida said it wouldn't continue with the list. Were they investigated by the department of (in) justice? Was anyone indicted for caging which is a felony? HELL NO!

      And it gets worse:

      "Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law, according to a review of state records and Social Security data by The New York Times."

      Here's the whole story:

      http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/09/us/politics/09vo...

      Incredibly, this was tucked into the Times, rather than appearing on page 1, "above the fold."

      It's a Coup de'tat on the Democracy in this country. They are actively going after the voters in this country to influence the election. We as a people need to stand up now or forever lose the only power we as American citizens have left. If we lose the power of the vote, all bets are off! Justices that refused to prosecute Acorn employees were ousted by this administration. There is concerted effort by the GOP in this country to win the election in November by "hook or by crook".
      The Brad Blog is a good source of inforamtion on these voting issues.

      There's a million reasons, none of them with a negative, unless you just don't want the truths to be apparent to casual observers. The single biggest bit of horribleness inflicted on propeller-heads by the redesign was the loss of that one simple feature.

        As you can see by the amount of negative ratings the comments are getting on this story, it's clearly evident that conservatives don't want anyone to know what they are doing. It's time to call and write our Congressmen and Senators and tell them we won't stand for this clear violation of our rights.

          Hater! Is that all you got. Some conspiracy association? The fact is you can't accept the fact that an intelligent, eloquent black man is better than the sorry old fart and his assistant airhead that the GOP could come up with. LOL!

          So, ninyo, I take it you're not voting for Obama. Your prerogative, of course. But you don't aid the opposition by your virulent, mendacious outbursts. Rather the opposite.

          You should, in any case, limit yourself to one hate-filled rant per thread. For everyone's good.

                In an attempt to justify the accusations being made today a right-wing newspaper today interviewed(now get this) pizza delivery guys and they say that they were enticed into a scam for ACORN.

                  Multiple states have convictions of multiple ACORN employees and you folks sit here and deny it has and is happening. I may not agree with many of you on many things but I at least thought you were standing for what you think is right. This only tells me you are either all liars or you don't care about the truth, or you just don't want to know the truth. So much for the self-proclaimed champions of a better America here in Propeller.

                  I heard a rumor that GOP operatives have set up phony ACORN offices and turned in questionable applications along with legit ones. Election boards questioned the bad ones, but the numbers were enough to prompt them to negate, collectively, the good ones.

                        You know the Republicans are running scared.

                        Because they voted for the idiot in charge the last eight years, then they built him up to be the greatest leader we have had.

                        Then the reality hit and they are faced with the truth that the worst leader we ever had is Bush. Bush has not been a leader so much as a blood sucking, greedy, lying, stealing, self serving hypocrite.

                        He has brought us to new lows.

                        Now they have to resort to every trick they can to stop the voters from throwing the Republican party out on its as* where it belongs in the cold snow.

                        Voter fraud is what they put out with every fraudulent ad stating that they are for America and its citizens. Registration fraud is what they do when they claim to be Americans, when they are greedy one worlders who could care less about America as long as they make money !!!!!!

                        What about the hanging chads that put Bush into office in the State where his Brother was the Governor. You know Florida in 2000. Because the greedy Bastar*s needed Bush to start the war for oil.
